Nothing like it

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

No there’s nothing like spending 45 minutes of a Friday morning on a conference call with a bunch of tech folks working for our ISP, trying to get some clear idea of what policies and filtering they have in place now, and what new ones are coming, only to come to the conclusion that we should all have a sit-down sometime in the near future to evaluate everything involving how we’re connected to them.

Why do I get the feeling that big changes are afoot, and that I’m going to be spending the rest of this year trying to get everything implemented and running properly? (On the other hand, maybe those changes will involve using stuff that isn’t currently on my resume? That could be good..)

    I’m still having Perl problems on the other site. MT-Blacklist simply won’t work at all.

    Yesterday, as I was leaving work I noticed that one of my coworkers has a telescope in his office. Naturally, it’s pointed out the window. Two thoughts raced into my head: 1) We only work during the day. 2) Even if you were here at night, we work in a downtown, urban, hence, well-lit area….

    Ah I see where Jim is launching his new business, MindStorm Hosting. He’s even going to be a sponser at Gnomedex and bringing some stuff for the attendees. Man, I’m really gonna be missing out if I can’t go, aren’t I? *L* Actually getting to go to Gnomedex might be a nice consolation prize. If…

    Angela ordered the Dell Axim X5/400Mhz for my Christmas present. This is pretty much going against my very firmly held belief about all things tech related. That is, never be an early adopter, let someone else be the guinea pig. But in this case, the pricing/specs combination on the Dell PocketPC make it pretty hard…

  • Audio master

    One of the things I absolutely love about my job, is that there’s always something new to learn, or to tinker with, in order to solve a problem. Today, it was audio. You see, a couple of days ago, I was charged with finding a solution for someone who wanted to record day-long meetings. It…
